Thanks, I really like your videos. I can't believe that at age 69, I'm just now learning to shave. I've been scraping my face for decades with expensive but cheaply built disposables. Being a cheap bastard I would try to push those horrible cartridges for 10 shaves. Watched your video and learned how to use a scuttle bowl for building a nice lather. I now really look forward to my comfortable morning shave. Thanks again.

@just_noXi Год назад

the companion was my very first razor. I still like it a lot. But since I got a few more razors it got promoted as a body razor. This is where it really shines, the longer handle, the loop, the rounded and protected edges, the well balanced aggressiveness is what gives your skin an awesome shave on every spot.

Thanks for sharing!

@shalpher844 2 года назад

Another good review geo. Love my Henson AL-13 mild, and I just got the Muehle Companion. Tried the Companion yesterday and I agree, mild but more aggressive than the Henson. I like the new Proraso bottles, more classic looking. Shave on!

Great vids GFB. You're passion for shaving is contagious. So I'm 3 weeks into watching your vids and now 3 new razors purchased... I do believe you've created an addiction. Any recommended non-shave-day routine for skincare and scent?

I have the AL13 Medium and the Leaf Twig, I always get much smoother and closer shaves with the Twig. You should try out the twig razors. They’re cheaper than the Hensons too.

@GeoFatBoy A great detailed educational breakdown of wet shaving products is right to the point. I always look forward to your wet shaving videos. Quick question: How's the knurling comparison between each handle?

@Shaverboy516 2 года назад

That was a terrific shave Geo! Both razors performed equally as well. What time should I be over for the lather party?😂

@VaxoKorkotashvili 2 года назад

Hello! I simply love ur videos! I've got a question. After watching tons of ur videos, i decided to purchase my first DE razor and which one u recommend as a first DE razor? Maybe merkur 34c?

@rajansharmaadv 2 года назад

Very nice comparison video Geo, I don't have tried any of these razors but watched the video right from the beginning till the end 👍👍👍

@terrym1065 2 года назад

Geo💈💈 Nice comparison shave using these two razors. I've found that using too light of a razor is just as bad for my face as using one that's too heavy, maybe even more so. I'm heavy handed to start with and the lighter weight razors cause me to exert more force than needed, my bad. Great video as always, thanks. Proraso perfection, good stuff. Enjoy!

@keweizhang5625 2 года назад

good work all time.

@alessandrociceri331 2 года назад

Nice video Geo. Can you do in futur a comparison with Merkur 34C HD vs Merkur 38C Barberpole, my two favorite razors ? All the best 🙂

@sbatty65227 2 года назад

Just ordered the Medium Henson. Can't wait to compare it to my go to razor the Merkur 37c Slant.

@xlilnetx 2 года назад

I’m thinking about getting the slant, just looks scary with a blade in it the blade gap. I’m pretty new to wet shaving too

@Themahaaveer Год назад

How does it compare with 37C ?

@razormichl2004 2 года назад

top video !! thanks

@drpavlovic1411 2 года назад

Only an amateur can't see that you needed 15 strokes with Henson and 10 with Muhle for every area of your face. That means 33% chance to get more irritation with Hanson. But, people are mesmerized by Henson's design, so they are ready to pay 70$ for this aluminum thing. It is enough only to hear your shaving and to see the difference, how much more blade you have with Muhle. If you go up your face after shaving, we could hear the difference, that Muhle did the better job.

@geofatboy 2 года назад

Nicely said, nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

@GreetingsandSalutations4007 2 года назад

Have you used both the mild and medium? I ask because I’ve used a medium Henson and it was comparable enough to my Merkur 33C although obviously not as aggressive. I can’t remember how they compare in closeness. I

Could you do a comparison between straight razors?

@larslainelange188 2 года назад

Can you do a Muhle R41 vs. Merkur 25c please?

@PRFRyan 2 года назад

Hey Geo! I would love to see a comparison shave between the Merkur Futur and the Merkur Progress. How do they compare in agressiveness and beard removal?

@mansoreaa 2 года назад

Geo I'm following you for a long time from Saudi Arabia. My question is : Does storing DE blades for a long time affect their sharpness?

@geofatboy 2 года назад

If you're talking weeks or months I'd say no. If you're talking 30-50 years, I'd say yes. And-best from the USA!

@UnrulyAce5 2 года назад

Can you review caisson shaving co soaps? I have their code four soap and it smells amazing and nobody else seems to know about this company because they are rather new and im relatively new to this style of shaving and am curious to hear your input on it.

@geofatboy 2 года назад

How are you related to them?

@bartvanleeuwen9190 2 года назад

Bought the Companion for my twelve year old to start shaving under her arms after she went through a pack of Gillette mach 3 three blades quicksnap. Paired it with an Astra sp blade. Hope it will save some money.....

@xlilnetx 2 года назад

Get her the Henson I got one and man you can’t cut yourself with that thing at least it feels like it

@trunglerfevr 2 года назад

I've got an AL13 mild and love it. I would recommend trying a different blade than the Astra, though. I've gotten extraordinarily close shaves with Wilkinson Sword by Gillette. Regardless, very easy to use and comfortable. Definitely a fantastic razor.

@davidvalens3337 2 года назад

The Wilkinson is my favorite blade!

@davidvalens3337 2 года назад

Is the al13 your favorite razor?

@chrishorgan2372 2 года назад

I started using Astra's with my AL13. The first two were ok but the third was a bit grim. So, I switched to the Wilkinson Sword ones and they've been great.

@adriandemark3958 2 года назад

This is interesting. I've used my AL13 mild for 9 months now, and I've also found the German made Wilkinson sword to be one of the best blades for it (I also liked feathers and med preps). I tested nearly a dozen other blades on this razor and these ones stood out by a lot.

@razorgarf 14 часов назад

Been using Henson for a month with Feather, RK, Wilkinson and Proshave blades and Wilkinson was my least favourite..

@curtisdelor5097 2 года назад

Out of curiosity, have you ever shaved your head before Geo? And if so, have you done so with a DE safety razor?

@geofatboy 2 года назад

The closest I've come was down to a #1 on the clipper. I was told I look like a serial killer. Probably started using my middle name...

@ashleighmyers4650 Год назад

Hi @Geofatboy.. Me from South Africa just thanking you for your helpful content. Yours and other RU-vid wet shaving enthusiasts really have me convinced on transitioning from disposables. I am still researching before pulling the trigger. My choice of DEs is either the Henson AL-13 mild or the Muhle Companion. In my region it's about half the price of the Henson so I'm a bit torn. For way less than a Henson price wise I can get a Muhle Companion, LOTS of Astra Superior Platinum Blades, a very decent synthetic shaving brush, a Proraso Alum stone and a Proraso shaving cream tube. This to me says that the Henson might be overpriced or is it really almost double better than the Muhle Companion? I would really appreciate your opinion. Then, too confuse me even more, someone recommended the Muhle R89 and the reviews are actually positive. Thanks again for all your help.

@geofatboy Год назад

There is no night and day difference between them as far as shave and durability goes. If it's that much cheaper, then go for it! Save some $ for a brush and some cream!

@ashleighmyers4650 Год назад

@@geofatboy Thanks for taking the time to reply. In the meantime I have set my sights on a Muhle R89 Grande as well. So I'm still saving and eventually will decide between the 2 Muhles. I'm so excited! Can't wait to have one in my hand.

@jimgee2676 2 года назад

i am having trouble deciding if i should buy the mild or medium henson , is there any type of test i can do to know which razor is best for me

@GreetingsandSalutations4007 Год назад

Without both not really. But if your beard is average I’d go with the medium

@Eddies_Bra-att-ha-grejer Год назад

I'm thinking about getting the Mühle Companion for my sister, since it can be hung up, but isn't a long-handled razor better for body shaving?

@geofatboy Год назад

Isn't that what she'll be using it for? bit.ly/CompanionRazorSN

@Eddies_Bra-att-ha-grejer Год назад

@@geofatboy I didn't think it was very long-handled, I ended up getting her the Merkur 24C.

@jom6617 2 года назад

Would you say the muhle r89 is more aggressive than the henson?

@geofatboy 2 года назад

Yes I would.

@icecold2042 2 года назад

Hey Geo, for really super soft smooth skin (all day long!!!) after the shave, apply a bit of "Arko Nem" cream on top of your regular balm - it's ridiculously good! Total fluke how I discovered it but it really works! Top man! 👊😎

@geofatboy 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing Ice-I'll give it a try.

That's one way to make new friends, post a "Later Party" post hahaha.

@okiedokie_cool 2 года назад

Hi Geo, by not squeezing out the excess water from the brush (before swirling for lather), doesn't the lather turn out to be thin but slick no doubt??

@pappapiccolino9572 2 года назад

Yes, no doubt. If you watch Geo's videos from a few months ago, he uses the old method where he shakes out the bulk of the water, and definitely ends up with a thicker, creamier lather. I've also verified this in my own trials at home. I think Geo could shave with dirty dish water and a blunt rusty knife and still look a million bucks. He has fantastic skin. I should be so lucky. Anyway, he's a joy to watch. Love your work Georgie.

This is not explained in the Henson instructions - that the side goes flat against the skin.

If you shave with it you'll see what I mean. It's intuitive!

@rajansharmaadv 2 года назад

Geo while shaving with Companion you look much more uncomfortable from your eyes, I recently purchased Companion but it has a very aggressive blade feel and also got nicks while shaving for the first two three times a way more aggressive than it's looks.

Interesting-Maybe I'm not used to shaving with a "companion" in the room 😂 Thanks for sharing.

Stupid people have to pay full price for another razor, more practical people buy an adjustable razor like Rockwell, Merkur, Parker, and many more. Hensen razor was made for ChatGPT's face, and no self-respecting person wants ChatGPT's face!
